Aide à domicile La Branche

What Aide à domicile La Branche does

Aide à domicile La Branche (legal entity: AGFAP — Association de gestion du fonds d'aide au paritarisme) is a French non-profit professional branch association (association loi 1901) established in 1993 and headquartered at 184 A rue du Faubourg Saint-Denis, Paris. It is the legally designated representative body for the non-profit home care, support, care and home services sector in France, governed paritariamente by four employer federations (ADMR, UNA, ADEDOM, FNAAFP-CSF) and three trade unions (CFDT, FO, CGT). The branch covers 6,330 employer structures employing 191,580 workers (138,000 FTE), of which 87% work in intervention roles, 94% are women, 55% are over 45, and 88–89% hold permanent CDI contracts.

The organization's core outputs are institutional rather than commercial. It negotiates and maintains the Convention Collective de Branche (in force since January 1, 2012) governing wages, classifications, and working conditions. It coordinates training through sector-specific programs including AFEST on-the-job methodology and the contextualized CléA BAD certification across seven skill domains. It operates a national job board (Offres d'emploi) and Espace Pro portal, distributes employee benefits through partnerships with mutual insurers (AG2R La Mondiale, AESIO, Klesia, Harmonie Mutuelle, Matmut, Mutest, Apivia Macif), and provides a Branch Social Fund plus psychological support for employees. There is no underlying proprietary technology; the digital products are standard web-based information and recruitment platforms.

The entity generates no commercial revenue. Funding flows from paritary contributions (employer and employee contributions) collected through AGFAP from member structures. Its GTM motion is recruitment-focused — promoting the sector as a career destination, countering negative perceptions, and channeling candidates to member organizations through the job board. Pricing for end-users is freemium: free job search and CV submission for candidates, with member organization access managed through affiliated federations.
